The leaves were coming down like rain this weekend, and to match them, I spent most of my studio time painting them into these two pieces.
I very nearly painted out the ivy on the tornado painting. I'm kinda glad I didn't. I went through a couple more ideas, but extending the vines seems like the best option so far.
Also, I haven't been happy with the scarf painting since I said I was done. There was something about the top of her head against that light sky that bothered me. So again, leaves to the rescue.
I think the main problem with both of these pieces is that I have been ignoring the middle ground, (ha! typical artist!) and the leaves are helping to solve it in both cases. I like them better. So far.
